Whitman a top liberal arts college according to “Washington Monthly”

August 25, 2014

According to the 2014 "Washington Monthly" college rankings, Whitman College is the 29th best liberal arts college in the country.

"Washington Monthly" uses a unique methodology in its rankings, focusing on schools that contribute to society and enable low-income students to attend and graduate with a degree rather than on schools which reject the highest number of applicants.

Schools are rated based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility (recruiting and graduating low-income students), research (producing cutting-edge scholarship and PhDs) and service (encouraging students to give something back to their country).
